( Lemon warning! )

Reiner grit his teeth against the throbbing pain as I worked to heal his arm, pumping chakra into the broken bone with ease and concentration. According to him, he had a close call with death, getting nearly ravaged by a titan while trying to contain it in the tower he was stuck in moments ago. He was lucky the titan didn't just bite his arm off. It was hard to heal something that wasn't there with incomplete chakra.

"Dammit." He muttered under his breath. "Every damn time I go out, my life gets put in danger, this is the second time I had a close encounter with a damn titan."

Eren, who was helping Armin up from scaling the wall, glanced at Reiner in surprise. "Oh? Second time?."

Reiner nodded. "You remember right Armin? I knew what I was getting myself into when I signed up as a soldier, but I'm starting to think I can't handle things to this extent...one of these days I wont be so lucky."

I stopped the chakra flow and examined his arm closely. It was healed. "There you go, good as new." I said with a grin.

Reiner checked it out for himself and stretched his arm out, flexing it as a test. "Wow thanks, you're amazing." He stated with gratitude.

I got up to dust myself off and turned my head towards Hanji. It looked like she was done talking to Christa, and was heading towards us next. Since the blonde petite was closest to Ymir, Hanji questioned her first. The fact that Ymir was a titan and kept that fact secret was making the commanders anxious.

Reiner got up as well and rose his hands over his eyes to peer down at the scenery. No doubt hoping to catch a glimpse of Bertholdt. "Well I cant really bitch about my arm now can I, with Sakura here, I can..." he paused, eyes going wide. He turned to me suddenly and gripped my shoulders. "Hey, you're still looking to go back to your home right?"

I averted my eyes. "Oh uhhh, yeah but I haven't really gotten around to it, with everything that's been happening and all."

"Then come with me, I'm going out to look for Bertholdt and then I'm going to to my home village." He offered with determination.

I blinked in confusion. Eren frowned as well. "What are you talking about Reiner?"

Before the blonde could answer, Hanji stepped between us and yelled. "Alright is every one here? We need to see a way we can patch the breach as quick as possible, Hannes came to help us find it." She pointed below the wall and our eyes followed.

"Hannes?" Mikasa and Eren spoke out. Since I didn't know the guy very well, I stayed silent.

We watched as he used his gear to scale the wall and climb. Mikasa turned to Hanji. "But what about Ymir?"

"We will deal with her later, right now we need to seal the breach to prevent any more titans from getting in." Hanji replied.

Once Hannes made his way to the top of the wall, Eren bent to help the man up, who was wheezing from the effort of the climb. He stared up at us with a frown, grimacing as he wiped sweat off his face. "There's no breach anywhere."

The news was shocking. No breach? Then how the hell did the titans get in? Hannes continued. "I know it's odd, but it's true, between the places of Trost and the Chlorba district, there are no abnormalities in the wall, we've been searching all night."

"But how can that be?! That doesn't make any sense!" Hanji spoke out in confusion.

Hannes calmed his ragged breathing and licked his lips. "I know, we've met up with the Chlorba soldiers dispatched from that district along the way, they haven't seen any breach either and we retraced each others path to double check, we haven't seen a single titan since then."

"But we have seen titans here inside the wall, no doubt about that." Armin stated shyly.

Eren got closer to Hannes. "You sure you looked over the wall throughly? Maybe you're still drunk or something."

Hannes shook his head in denial. "If I was drunk in a time like this Eren...by the way why are you guys even here?" He asked suspiciously.

None of us said anything. We stood quiet and stared at Hannes as if he had suddenly grown two heads. Hanji spoke up. "Umm...huhhh, well with no breach in the wall, we have no choice but to call the operation off." Her hand was shaking, I could hear the worry in her voice and I knew why. She was afraid the attack came from within, that we possibly had another traitor. Just like Annie...Hanji turned towards the higher ranked soldiers behind her. "For right now, we'll be on standby in the Trost district.

With that, everyone scattered and went about their own business. Did this mean we could do as we pleased? I could really use a shower. Hannes turned to us a gave a small smile. "You four, even if things look nice and peaceful, don't let you're guard down." He left after those words, walking away swiftly.

"What the hell is going on here." Eren muttered.

"I don't know, nothing has happened for five years, and now all these strange things are going on, what could it all mean." Armin whispered.

I yawned and stretched my arms. "I don't know about you guys, but I am in need of a shower, anyone know where they might be?"

"Erwin might, he should be around in Trost somewhere or in the hospital questioning Mike." Armin stated.

"Thanks!" I beamed, and hopped off the wall, hearing gasps behind me and words like 'shes crazy.' I inwardly rolled my eyes. I didn't need gear like them to climb down the wall, just looking at Hannes do it made me tired already. The wall was fifty feet, climbing down would take forever. I landed on my feet in perfect balance, not even stumbling in the process. Sleeping really helped in regaining my strength and chakra back.

Looking around my surroundings, I spotted Ymir's body being carried in a stretcher by four guards, most likely to the medical unit they had in this place. Following them was the easiest way to finding it so I did just that. I followed after Ymir silently between the crowd of people walking around.

Everyone seemed so busy...and worried. I understood why, it was weird that there was no breach. And Reiners words had me worried as well. He wanted to go find Bertholdt, and that was understandable. I actually wanted him to find the odd and estranged man, but he wanted me to go with him. Why? What was Reiner thinking...I didn't want to face Bertholdt again after what happened. I sighed and slowed my fast pace when I saw that Ymir was being taken inside a building similar to the ones around me. It was somewhat old and broken looking but people were around it working on repairs. With most of the titans gone, it was easier to fix the damages that the giants had caused.

I walked inside the building and approached a woman filling out paperwork at a nearby desk. The scouting legion symbol was evident on her uniform. "Excuse me, I'm looking for a Mike, new captain of the scouting squad and has a weird smelling habit?"

She looked up at me and blinked, staring at my hair for a good long moment. I inwardly sighed. Not enough people had gotten used to my strange hair color. "Oh...right, Mike Mike Mike..." she chanted as she looked through a notepad. "Ah yes, corporal Mike, he's in the second floor room three."

"Thanks." I said with a bow before turning and heading upstairs. Many soldiers ran about, carrying paperwork and injured people into rooms to be cared for. I counted the numbers of the doors as I reached the second unit. 1...2...3. I stopped and entered said room and spotted a familiar figure on the bed. I approached him quietly. It looked like he was asleep. I reached out to caress his arm in a gentle motion and pulled it back when his eyes shot open. So he wasn't asleep, he was just resting. "Ah, hello...how are you feeling?" I asked in a polite tone.

He sat up slowly and brushed his hair back with a bandaged hand. "A lot better thanks to you, I owe you my life Sakura." He sniffed the air, a gesture I wasn't too fond of. "I knew I smelled a familiar scent earlier."

I tried not to show that I was creeped out by the comment. "So do you know where the head commander is?"

"Erwin left a little while ago towards the horse stables. By the way,why are you wearing Levi's coat?" Mike asked with a raised eyebrow.

I blushed and averted my eyes. "Errr...I was cold."

He nodded. "I see, well it was a bit chilly, should have worn pants instead of a skirt ya know."

I smiled and patted him on the head. "Yeah I know, but I was in a bit of a hurry." Bending down to kiss him on the cheek I walked towards the door. "Get well soon!"

He stared at me, wide eyed and a faint blush gracing his cheeks. "T-thanks." he whispered lowly, but I heard it anyway.

I smirked as I made my way down the stairs again. Anything to change the subject of this coat. I should have thrown it away when I had the chance. But will Levi get mad if I do that? I could imagine him making me clean for a whole day as payback, scrubbing the floors as If I was some maid. I sighed as I exited the building and stood in the sun for a while. I guess I just couldn't throw it away. I knew that secretly, I wanted to be in the damn thing for as long as possible. A soldier passed by me quickly and I stopped him, clasping my hands around his shoulders. He eyed me closely, not bothering to stare at my hair like the rest of the world. Whatever he was doing, he was in a hurry.

"Excuse me sir, do you by any chance know where the horses stables are at?" I asked.

He thought for a moment before answering. "Hmmm yeah they're to the south of here over that way." He pointed at an ally. "Just keep going that way and you'll come across a field of training barracks, it will be there."

"Alright thanks!" I stated and sprinted at the direction he pointed to. A training field, that shouldn't be too hard to find considering it was big. I was right. I came across it and kidded to a halt, looking around for the stables that Mike talked about. It was on the far side of the field, standing apart from all the other nearby buildings because it was bigger than the stables at the inner walls, although a bit run down from lack of use and cleaning. I spotted Erwin hauling clumps of hay into the stables and ran towards him.

"Erwin!" I yelled. He threw the hay down and spread it with a pitchfork before glancing at me.

He wore a thin white collar shirt and had the sleeves pulled up to his elbows. It was obvious he was in a hurry too. "Hello." He greeted, then rose an eyebrow and studied me closely. "Wait why are you here? Did everyone return already?"

I nodded. "We couldn't find any breach in the wall, everyone is freakishly confused about it, which is understandable."

Erwin paused and stopped what he was doing for a moment. "How did the titans get in if the wall didn't get breached?" he asked with a frown.

I shrugged. "I have no idea, but I am really dirty and muddy so I was hoping you knew where the showers in the trainee building were at."

He continued to spread the hay and handed me a rusty bucket. I held it as he put piles of hay into it and took the bucket once it was full. He walked around the inside of the stables, throwing clumps of the yellow stuff into the few horses that resided in the stalls, filling the large bowls bucket after bucket. After he was done he grabbed the hose and eyed me. "Can you turn the hose on?"

"Sure." I stated and walked over to the side of the stalls, turning the rusty wheel. Water splashed out of the hose and Erwin aimed it at the horses water bowls, filling each one.

He had me turn the water off when he was done and he rolled the hose into a neat bundle on the ground. "If you want to take a shower you might want to do it here since the water is down in pretty much all the buildings in Trost, We've only had so much time to repair the damages the titans inflicted, the only reason we have water here is because titans don't attack animals, therefore they didn't attack the stables."

I cocked my head to the side in confusion. "Wait there are showers here?"

He walked around the outside of the stables and motioned me to follow, stopping at the side and pointing to three showerheads sticking out of the wood. "We actually use this to clean off our boots and arms after handling the horses but it can be used as a shower."

I stared blankly. "No way in hell ." I wasn't going to shower outside in the open with no concealment. I would never show my face to the world if I was seen.

"Suit yourself." Erwin said in amusement.

"Wait! What if someone sees me." I whined nervously, looking around for other signs of wandering life.

"No one is around, if I were you, I will take one quickly before the soldiers start coming back." The tall man exclaimed with a grin...a strange grin, it made me remember the time in the lake and I tore my eyes away from his. Everyone in this damn world was a pervert, they put Jiraiya to shame. He turned on one of the shower heads and washed his arms off from the dirt that was stuck on his skin, making swift movements with his hands as he cleaned himself.

He turned it off seconds later and adjusted his boots. "You're leaving?" I asked with a narrowed look.

He nodded. "I need to get in touch with Hanji about the breach, I need more info, I'll see you later, don't wander off to the inner wall, we still need you here." He waved before heading out. I watched his retreating form until it became too small to recognize.

Taking Levi's coat off reluctantly, I set it down in a neat fold on a nearby stool. I had no damn choice, I couldn't live with the mud that stuck to my legs and back thanks to Bertholdt's little stunt. I took off the rest of my clothes and hesitated for a good five minutes when I got to my undergarments. "Damn this, why does my life suck so bad sometimes." I muttered under my breath, taking my bra and underwear off finally. I kept looking around the whole time, paranoid out of my mind. Every leaf that fell sounded like a damn footstep. Turning the water on, I cringed and hugged my naked body as the cold liquid fell upon me. It was freezing, but it was still better than nothing. I stank of dirt and grime tussling around in the mud with the uncontrollable man that was Bertholdt. After a while of standing under the water, my body began to get used to it. I let myself relax and let the dirt fall down my feet. I rubbed my head with my fingers in a gentle motion, wishing I had some shampoo or soap at least. I made a mental note to wash my hair with scented cleaning products once I went back to the inner walls.

I turned around to let the water run down my back and stayed still, thinking about what I should do after I was done. Hanji didn't give any specific orders or anything of the sort. I was free to do whatever I wanted for the day, a rare opportunity indeed. I made up my mind to go out and grab something to eat and maybe relax under a tree, resting for once. Yeah, lazing around sounded like a good idea. Smirking, I rubbed my arms, deep in thought. I understood why Tsunade sama loved to slack off when no one was around now. She rarely had time and those rare opportunities simply couldn't be missed. Tsunade sama...I kind of missed her. I missed everyone but...in the deep recesses of my mind I knew I didn't want to go back anytime soon. Because of him...

A twig snapped. I froze. Maybe it was an animal or maybe it was someone walking this way? What if it was Erwin spying on me? I swore on my grave...if it was Erwin, head commander or not, I was going to knock him into next tuesday. I turned the water off and listened carefully. Silence... Maybe it was just me being paranoid after all. Deciding that was it, I turned the water back on and continued rubbing my skin. It wasn't until a shadow fell upon me that I knew someone was there. I looked up slowly with a blank poker face and stared into wide bedroom eyes that were glued to my body. Levi stood there, holding his coat and looking taken aback by the sight.

I gave the most high pitched scream my throat could muster and my hand reached out to slap his cheek. He stumbled backward and let go of the coat as I yanked it off his hand to wrap it around me as if my life depended on it. I didn't miss the baffled face and the nosebleed that he had.

"Turn around right now you Pervert!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He obeyed instantly, whirling around while holding his stinging cheek. "You saw!" I shrieked wildly with a face as red as a tomato, turning the water off.

"No I didn't I didn't get a good look, I only saw you're face." He stammered, still holding his cheek.

"Liar! You saw! You looked." I insisted accusingly. Staring at the back of his scouting legion jacket. The lecherous bastard had changed into his uniform.

"Okay I saw, I'm sorry!" He exclaimed rather loudly. I shut my eyes. This was embarrassing, my life was over. I wanted to disappear and never be heard from again. He turned around slowly, cheeks slightly pink. "I wasn't trying to peek, I saw my coat laying on that dirty stool so I got angry, I thought someone was just washing their hands over here, sorry I didn't mean to peek." His words came out incoherently. He was just as embarrassed at the situation as I was. Relaxing a little, I puffed my cheeks and walked around the stables, putting my skirt on and my top quickly.

"I order you to forget the image that you have seen!" I shouted from inside.

He scoffed. "How the hell am I going to forget something like that." He whispered. I heard it and pouted. He was lucky he was Levi, if it was someone else I would have killed them in cold blood. Once I fastened my boots, I grabbed his coat and exited the stables, throwing said coat at him.

"I swear if you talk about this to anyone..." I threatened with a glare.

He stared down at me and I caught him as his eyes rolled down to my chest. "Hey!" I shrieked, covering myself with my arms.

"I can't help it brat!" He spat, grabbing onto my shirt and hauling me up violently so his face was close to mine. "What idiot takes a shower out in the open and leaves that coat in plain sight for me to see?! What idiot wears a skirt with gear on knowing they will get welts?! Do you know how hard it was to contain myself taking those belts off?! Do you know how crazy it drove me to sleep that night, knowing you were inches away, fucking potato girl had to be there, do you know how hard it was not to kill Bertholdt for touching you like that?! Why do you have to tease me so much?! thinking this way about a fucking minor, it's tearing me apart, I can't take it, I can't handle the thought of someone finding out about this, of another man touching you and taking you away."

I was speechless. I had no idea...that these things...were spiraling in his head...driving him crazy...Levi was always a rock, an emotionless rock that rarely showed his feelings, but he was letting everything out now. This was the true Levi, the real man that I was falling head over heels for. In the midst of all this, I was tongue tied. I didn't expect this outburst. "I don't...understand..." I muttered quietly.

He sighed heavily. "Idiot, Why are you so strong yet so slow when it comes to this?" He bent and closed the gap between us. We kissed. His lips were soft and warm, and I melted into it. It was like heaven, it was what I wanted to do ever since I first layed eyes on him. He was gentle at first, Soft lips brushing against mine carefully, But when our bodies got closer, he got aggressive, tongue darting out and pressing against my teeth, demanding entrance. I granted it eagerly and parted my lips to feel his tongue slip into my crevice, fighting my tongue for dominance. I could taste the flavor of mint and wine.

Eager to keep the kiss going, I threw my arms around him a little too forcefully and we both fell down, resulting in me landing on top of him. We broke the kiss, gasping for breath, and he swiftly moved to roll on top of me, showering my chin with kisses. His hands moved to my shirt and he began tearing the buttons off. I clasped my hands around his to stop the motion.

"Wait...I don't know what's going on..." I muttered in confusion. I felt lightheaded...and this all felt like a dream. It didn't seem real that Levi would actually be acting like this, but it was. It was real, he was real, and I was unsure of what to do next. I was young. He was older, and more experienced.

He stared blankly at me. "Huh...that's funny, neither do I."

I knew then where this was going, and I decided to let him lead. He tore my shirt off completely and tugged on my bra, slipping the straps off my shoulders. I suddenly felt very self conscious of my body as he stared at my naked chest. I wasn't big like Tsunade, but he didn't seem to mind. His glassy eyes took in everything like a hungry predator and he lowered his head to suck on a breast, while he fondled the other one.

I didn't feel anything at first, I laid there on the grass, mulling over how expertly he was doing this. Did he do it to other girls before me? The thought made me insanely envious, but the thought went away as soon as I felt his knee press against my lower region. I gasped, feeling nervous but eager at the same time. He stopped teasing my chest and pulled my skirt up, spreading my legs to shove his hand down. I grimaced as he inserted his fingers inside. It was painful, and he knew it. He kissed me again, more gentle this time, trying to distract me from the pain of the constant moving of his fingers. I bit his lower lip, feeling his front teeth with my own, feeling a warmth begin to take over. I was beginning to get used to the motion of the sudden intrusion and a wave of unbearable need hit me. He was feeling it too, I could tell by his ragged breathing he was getting impatient.

Removing his fingers from my entrance, he shakily fumbled with his belt, tearing it off and throwing it aside. He pulled his zipper down. My eyes widened at the bulge that came springing out. My need suddenly grew into nervousness. Levi wasn't small and I knew the pain that awaited me. Without warning, he pushed himself in with a grunt, making me yelp in pain. I threw my head back and grit my teeth against the tearing. He panted heavily on top of me, thrusting slowly at first, hugging my upper body closely with one arm and holding my hand above my head with the other, hands clasped together with the shared moment. He moaned Between slow paced thrusts, Eyes going hazy as he buried his head near by shoulder and into my pink locks. I bit my lip to stifle a moan myself. The pain was subsiding and I was beginning to feel that need again. Waves of pleasure filled me with each movement, the feeling of him inside me was not enough. I wanted more.

I clasped my walls around him, making him choke out a moan. He went faster, this time moving in a more aggressive pace.. I couldn't handle it anymore, I gasped and took a heavy breath as I came over the edge, walls clamping down on his member as he gave a groan. He lowered himself to kiss me, still thrusting. He wasn't done yet. I returned the kiss and squeezed purposefully on him, making his ragged breathing quicken. With a sudden fast pace, he buckled and came, making me feel a sudden rush of warmth shoot inside me. Levi lay limp on top of me, staying inside for a while longer as we waited for our breathing to subside.

"This is wrong..."he whispered, pulling out and getting up to zip up his pants, eyes still hazy from the high.

I stared at him shyly. "But..." I didn't finish my sentence. I was tired, the action we just took was so sudden, it took away a lot of energy. I was also feeling an unfamiliar wetness where his seed was oozing out from my entrance. I had to take another shower.

He sighed and buried his head in his hands. "I just took advantage of a minor...I'm as much a scumbag as Bertholdt, if not worse, I'm sorry."

I sat up quickly, pulling my skirt down. "Wait." I said with sudden anguish. I realized now what Levi meant. He forced himself upon me without hearing my consent first. He didn't even know how I felt. I had to tell him. "It's okay!" I blurted. "I wanted it to happen! And stop calling me a minor, I turn eighteen very soon."

He turned to me then, eyeing my messy hair. "The truth is, I think I gave you the wrong impression, this isn't right, What will people think?"

I frowned, suddenly angry. "Wrong impression?! So you decide to spill your feelings out and then fuck me, just to later tell me you gave me the wrong impression?!" I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up so our noses were almost touching. "I've been wanting to be close to you since day one! Even with your stupid cleaning obsession and your grouchy attitude! Do you know how hard it was to keep myself from tackling you, watching your see-through shirt in the rain?! When you rode behind me on the horse, every second was like heaven! When I accidentally crawled in your mat, I wished you would tell me to stay with you, don't you see? I love you!" I cried out.

He stared at me with wide eyes, speechless, and I was left panting, glaring holes into his eyes. I couldn't keep my anger for long. My frown turned into a smile, and I burst out laughing, letting go of his shirt and falling on my butt in the midst of it. He stared blankly and gave a small smirk himself. "Complicated brat." He muttered, playing with the grass he sat spent the entire day together hearing the song of the wind and happy to finally come to terms with the feelings we shared for one another.
